Great White/Osaka, Japan 1990

Even in the glamorous LA metal, Shirosame stood out with their adult sexiness. It was in the spring of 1990 that they made their long-awaited first visit to Japan. The release of the best video that will bring those memories back to life has been decided. This work contains the “May 4, 1990: Osaka Festival Hall Performance”. First, let’s check the schedule of their first visit to Japan. ・May 1st + 2nd: Tokyo Simple Insurance Hall ・May 4th: Osaka Festival Hall [This work] ・May 5th: Nagoya City Public Hall ・May 7th-9th: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall (3 performances) ・May 11th: Kawasaki Municipal Industrial Culture Hall A total of 8 performances. Most of them were concentrated in the Kanto region, but this work is an audience shot of the only Osaka performance. The biggest point of this work is the intense quality. First of all, it is beautiful above all. The screen is extremely vivid and the colors are unusually vivid, so it is hard to believe that it was 27 years ago. Of course, it was shot on analog video due to the era, but it is dazzlingly beautiful even to the eyes of today’s digital superstars. It’s not like the highlights have been raised by mastering, but the detail and freshness that can only be achieved by master direct is amazing. More amazing than the beauty of the image is the shooting technique. It’s a shot looking down from the second floor seats in front of the stage, but the shadows of the front row are not reflected at all…or rather, the audience is not reflected at all. It’s a superb viewpoint where you can’t even see the audience on the first floor, and the stage “only” occupies the screen. On top of that, the bold zoom is amazing. If you get as close as you can, you can see the expression of Jack Russell and each of his blonde hair, but even the way he gets closer is wonderful. He is definitely a fan of GREAT WHITE, and not only does he hold down the highlights of the show one by one, but he is also familiar with the beats and progression of each song, and zooms in and out along with the music. For example, “Mista Bone”. For a while, the film follows the highlights carefully, but at the end, when the tempo picks up, it zooms in again and again. In the chorus of their signature song “All Over Now,” it pulls back with “There’s nothin’ left” and then zooms in with “Baby! It’s all over now!!” He knows the song inside and out, lyric by lyric, and he records with great enthusiasm. This active and precise zoom… what? I feel like I’ve seen this technique somewhere before… I’m not sure, but it must be him. Yes, it’s very similar to the camerawork in MOTLEY CRUE’s masterpiece “OSAKA 1990” and MEGADETH’s “OSAKA 1991.” The much-talked-about “multiple camera solo,” “roller coaster angle,” “catch-up shot,” and other “that” technique is on full display in this film. This intense camerawork also vividly brings back memories of GREAT WHITE’s first visit to Japan. Due to various issues, they were unable to come to Japan for a while, but they came with their big hits in the US. That long-awaited feeling. The excitement of actually seeing a stage full of the masterpieces of “ONCE BITTEN” and “TWICE SHY”. It is depicted with active camera work. You will want to say to the cameraman, whose face you don’t even know, “That’s right, it was great!”. The masterpieces of the two great masterpieces “ONCE BITTEN” and “TWICE SHY”, covers of LED ZEPPELIN and AC/DC, etc., are super delicious shows that can only be found in the heyday. This work is a masterpiece just for capturing that with the highest quality. However, more than that, it also depicts the “longing” of their first visit to Japan. For those who experienced that spring day, and those who unfortunately missed it. This is a masterpiece that is unique to you. Live at Festival Hall, Osaka, Japan 4th May 1990 AMAZING SHOT1.
